Is there a song you would sell your grandmother to hear Morrissey play live?

[Scarlet1987]

I would sell both of them to hear him sing the "I need advice" part of Miserable Lie!

Miserable Lie would be my choice, but alas I would not sell my grandmothers!

 

[the judge]

shit. i misunderstood the question. english is tricky

 

[Velvis]

And the winner is....


This Charming Man


Sorry Gran

 

[kerestinaz]

then i would sell my grandfathers for seasick.

ohhh.... What a valuable temptation..

 

[theneverplayedsymphony]

I'd sell her for a short Dublin gig!!!

 

[dicartwright]

The never played symphonies

Does he play that?

 

[joey]

The never played symphonies

Does he play that?

I heard rumors that he sound checked it in LA last year, but I never heard it when I was hanging around to try and catch a little of the check.

 

[Corrissey]

To me there is: Come back to Camden

Reel around the Fountain

The never played symphonies

All of the above plus Yes, I am Blind.

 

[sweetness522]

It's a hard choice for me between This Charming Man, Reel Around the Fountain, and Come Back to Camden.

 

[Deego]

Am I the only one that reckons hearing Morrissey playing 'This Charming Man' would be a bit cringe worthy?

 

[SomeFormOfSusan]

I Know It's Over.

What does Morrissey want with all our grandmothers, though...? Oh dear.

 

[Mr Reynolds]

'Yes, I Am Blind'

 

[Practising Troublemaker]

Ok, the answer is Well I Wonder!

Love PTxx.

 

[Dave2006]

There's a place in hell for you and your friends...

I'd sell my Little Gran for This Charming Man, but Big Gran is staying where she is...

 

[Sven68]

"That joke isn't funny anymore" would be my choice.
Bye Granny!

 

[bored]

I'd kill all of your grandmothers to never have to hear him do How Soon Is Now again.

And November Spawned a Monster and The First of The Gang To Die.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

 

[ruthless_compassion]

im not sure that either of my grandmas corpses would be worth a song

 

[bored]

I heard rumors that he sound checked it in LA last year, but I never heard it when I was hanging around to try and catch a little of the check.

He played it quite a few times during the Quarry tour.

In fact I'm seeing a lot of songs here that were played life at one point.

 

[bored]

1 Something Is Squeezing My Skull
2 I Just Want To See The Boy Happy
3 One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
4 These Things Take Time
5 Black Cloud
6 How Soon Is Now
7 I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
8 Glamorous Glue
9 Trash
10 Spring Heeled Jim
11 You Have Killed Me
12 When I Last Spoke To Carol
13 That's How People Grow Up
14 Life Is A Pigsty
15 Christian Dior
16 It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
17 Irish Blood, English Heart
18 Oscillate Wildely
19 I'm Ok By Myself
20 Meat Is Murder
21 All You Need Is Me

Encore
22 This Charming Man

I certainly hope that is not the setlist.

Oscillate Wildly is never going to happen.
Meat is Murder hopefully has been put to rest forever.
Trash will probably never see the light of day again.
Christian Dior is a choice that I think you put out of desire not expectation.
TCM... I just don't see it happening.
How Soon is Now? ... please stop
I would much rather have Speedway back than Spring Heeled Jim.
I would hope we don't get more than 1 of THPGU and AYNIM per show.
5 Smiths songs seems about right and he has a lot to choose from still.

If I could pick them they would be (to get this back on topic):

Well I Wonder
Reel Around the Fountain
Handsome Devil
Unhappy Birthday
Nowhere Fast

I think the best shot here is Nowhere Fast but I won't be surprised if it never happens.

7 new songs
5 smiths songs
10 older solo songs

that's for the long shows where there are 22.
its hard to pick those 10 songs because he really likes to play a lot of singles so its getting harder to get b-sides and album tracks in there.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Are there any videos of Morrissey completely forgetting the lyrics to his own song? That's what I'd sell my grandma to see so that I had some proof he wasn't so awesome.
